One of 35 villages established for Dachen Islanders after their retreat to Taiwan in 1955. This one originally had 106 households and 422 residents engaged in farming. Most have since emigrated, leaving this village partly abandoned. Weiwu Temple (威武殿) on the northern outskirts of the village remains an important center of faith and likely sees more activity at annual reunions. Located very close to Rixin New Village (日新新村).
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.
警告：此處已廢棄或長期無人管理，可能存在潛在危險。造訪時請務必提高警覺，並做好相關安全防護措施。

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
